چکیده
According to Adler and Crosskey (2011), three genera of Simuliidae occur in Brazil: Araucnephia Wygodzinsky & Coscarón, Lutzsimulium d’Andretta & d’Andretta (2 subgenera) and Simulium Latreille (8 subgenera). The subgenus Simulium (Chirostilbia) is represented by 13 species, all of which are found in Brazil, including one economically important species, the pest Simulium pertinax Kollar. Six species in this subgenus are known from for the state of Mato Grosso (MT), Brazil (Simulium dekeyseri Shelley & Py-Daniel, Simulium friedlanderi Py-Daniel, S. pertinax, Simulium serranum Coscarón, Simulium spinibranchium Lutz and Simulium subpallidum Lutz). In this paper we describe one additional species: Simulium (Chirostilbia) brunnescens sp. nov., based on adults, pupae and larvae.
